We had planned to do garage sales today but with Anne staying over for the night and it being a really warm day we decided to go as a family to Deep Cove for a hike.
We took three cars, as Anne would be going straight home after and we had Kodi with us as well. I went with Lyndon and led the way. Once there we joined part of the Baden Powell Trail which went to the cliffs. The path was shown by orange diamonds tacked to the trees.
Lynn had a plastic bag to pick up after Kodi, as I was walking behind Lynn called out "you've missed a bit!' at the same time of throwing a pine cone to her.
When we got to the high rocks we looked out over Deep Cove where we had been with Bill and Ed four weeks ago. At this point we had the choice of either returning to the car or walking down to the town. Nate, Lynn,Tracy and I decided to walk down. What we didn't know was that due to the creeks that lead to the cove the past is not straight down but meanders in,up, along and down, but we took it at a gentle pace and got there. Deep Cove is a popular place for a picnic so the place we busy with no parking so by the time the others had parked we had joined them. In the cafe I had a Vanilla milk bubble tea, a milky vanilla shake with large balls of tapioca in it.
After saying our final goodbye to Anne, we headed back to the house. We had reservations for Milestones at 5:30 pm so we got to Park Royal a little earlier to look around the shops. We had a great meal. At this point I felt a little sad that we had had such a good time at the restaurant but we live so far away to do it more often. We then all went up to the base of Grouse Mountain to recreate a photo of the kids that had been taken on our first trip over. We picked up a coffee in Starbucks and saw the wolf enclosure, no wolves, but promised Tracy that it wasn't too far!
It was really warm when we returned to the house so had the doors open. Kodi heard a noise, ran outside and promptly got sprayed by a skunk. What a smell! Lyndon dragged him to the garage while I looked up a recipe on the net on how to get rid of the smell. Kodi wasn't happy. The smell lingered.
